Awesome dnb

Couldn't you have just posted a shorter video? I mean, I think you could capture all the rhythms/beats within 15 seconds, then just remind people to repeat each segment in their heads about 16 times.

Would like to know what makes this awesome compared to any other "dnb"?

Hard to say really. Some tracks appeal to me, most do not. That one did. I liked the setup, the structure and most importantly the sounds. A lot of dnb and especially dubstep have specific sounds that don't appeal to me at all. Some even to the point where the only thing I would gain by listening to them would be a headache. That track didn't have a single one of those annoying sounds. But then again I have listened to electronic music since the days of Goa trance in the nineties and obviously you haven't, so I wouldn't expect you to understand.

Good enough for you?

Another really great dnb track is Grayarea - Yevminist

Can't find it on youtube though, but it's on Global Underground #24 Reykjavik Mixed by Nick Warren

So I think you provided a pretty clear explanation. Basically, you don't find that particular track as annoying as most dnb; therefore, it's awesome.

Also, my interest in trance type music both peaked and died in the nineties. I wouldn't expect to understand why these kids would want to treat it as anything other than simplified background sound, or pay attention to it longer than they would any textbook.

The main reason I liked that track is because it reminded me of something else (non-music related). Nostalgia FTW. For the most part I listen to electronic music in my car on those days where I drive out to customers. I can readily admit that neither dnb or dubstep fall under my favorite electronic genres, but there are some tracks in both those genres that I really like. If the mood hits me, then I will choose dnb or dubstep over classic rock.

But I don't know why I bother. I didn't expect you to understand anyway.

I often don't expect people to understand my sense of nostalgia either, it's just a funny phenomenon in that sense.

If u dont even kmow how u even ever gonna make informed opinons on DnB. Your not.

So do you reckon you'll still be listening to the same genre of music in 50 years time? I know in the last 10 to 15 years I've changed loads of genres of music I've favoured... Maybe it's just dnb that's addictive then

I'm estimating you are in your early 20's, since teenage-ism results in the most fad/trend following and ultimately results in people listening to different genres' every year (I could be wrong though and I'm not having a go). but considering that most adults listen to music they have loved and listened to for years, often as early as their teens.

OP, what should suit your needs for general dnb listening. If you have a strong interest for dnb then db9 would probably be for you.

ya dun know that invite needs to come my way

interest != exposure

It's been on my listen-to: list for a while, but I finally got around to a sitting with Marianas Trench new album last night. Here's a perfect example of harmony between electronic synths, modifications and instrumental music:



I can hear a lot of J-pop inspiration, and a sample of Howard Goodall's Mad Pianos in there, so that might be why I enjoy it so much.
